Missing Methods and Propertys on old Job Objects

[LarsWulf]

I just wanted to mass edit some advanced scheduling options on my backup jobs.
While trying to do this I noticed that on my old jobs some are created end of 2012 (so it should have been v6) are missing various methods and propertys.

Is there any trick to get all the methods and propertys to all jobs ?
I know recreating all jobs would do the trick but to be honest this is not a nice option.

Could you please provide couple of examples - what kind of job is it and what kind of methods are missing?

[LarsWulf]

What I did is:

Code: Select all

$Job=Get-VBRjob -name "xxx"
$Job | get-member

Below you see the results of an old Job:

For example the "ScheduleOptions" Property is missing.

But I already found a way to fix this. When you change any detail on the old jobs and apply them all propertys and objects are existing afterwards.

Even though some parameters are missing in the obsolete product version, I believe you can still get them, using commandlets, instead of internals methods or properties. For instance, schedule settings can be gotten via Get-VBRJobSchedule. Thanks.

[LarsWulf]

I am not sure... and unfortunatelly can´t check anymore as I changed my settings on all jobs already by hand. And now as stated all properties are there.

[veremin]

Your method should also do the trick. I was just trying to point out the potential workaround that might allow you to bypass the mentioned inconsistencies in PS object representations. Thanks.
